Bob Marx, speaking to a group of female Democrats on Thursday, declared that “We have not seen such a draconian attack on women’s reproductive rights since the 1960’s and 1970’s. The GOP is trying to take back women’s fundamental right to make reproductive choices. We must not allow this to happen.”

Marx continued, “These ‘Republican Dinosaurs’ are trying to take women’s rights, women’s health, and their economic security. They are not going to stop anytime soon. Hawai‘i must send a Democrat to Congress who will fight them.”

“As your Congressman I will never forget that Patsy Mink’s district is the district of women’s equality, equal rights for all, and concern for women’s issues,” Marx stressed.

“Opponents of the equal rights gains are leveling attacks against American women every single day,” the Hawai‘i Democrat emphasized.” Democrats, Republicans, and Independents know that looking backward politically to a time when women and their rights were suppressed is wrong for women, men and America,” Democratic candidate Marx stressed.

“We need to come together and rise to the challenge facing women on these issues,” Bob Marx concluded.

Bob Marx’s great Aunt was the first woman ever elected to the U.S. Congress, Jeannette Rankin.

Bob Marx is a Democratic candidate for congress in the 2nd Congressional District. The district includes Maui County, Hawai’i County, Kauai County, and rural Oahu.
